Useful Tables, 



The following \tables may be useful to the Farmer and Gardener in showing the number of plants or trees that may be 

 raised on an acre of ground, also the quantity of seed required for an acre, witli the number of plants that can be growi~ 

 from an ounce of se^d, should the weather be favorable and the seed be preserved from the destruction of insects. We woul 

 however recommena a slight increase in the quantities to allow for these contingencies. The number of square feet co 

 tained in an acre of ground is 43,560 feet.
